Interesting video on Rey and the devolution of female characters in general

"You're afraid for her, you truly care about what happens to her but you really don't know if she can pull this off because the movie hasn't presented her as some kind of Superhero." - On Ripley in Aliens

Sums it up perfectly and modern cinema with women kung fu MMA kicking the crap out of muscled guys is just as to blame. Just look at that Charlize Theron movie Atomic Blonde.

A really good H.S. men's basketball team would beat the National Champion UCONN Huskies easily and women can't fight for shite unless they are cyborg and pumped full of testosterone.

See men have testosterone lots of it, women have small tiny amounts.

Hollywood needs to go back to women having weaknesses and danger meaning something and that are more fragile.

(side note) - they show Ripley being motherly in trying to save Newt. That would probably not happen today. That's a sign of weakness to the modern SJW movement.

I really enjoyed the video, but he's completely ignoring the vitriolic political scene. I think Wonder Woman was closer to the character he's describing. They had her unlock her ultimate power over the death of a heroic man for instance, and plenty of people STILL shite on the movie and claimed it got great reviews because it was a female comic book film.

In short, he's telling half the story. Our very contentious political climate right now from both sides is the other half, and there's very little Hollywood can do about that.
